What Causes Weak Starter Motor Performance?
1 Answers
Weak starter motor performance can be attributed to the following reasons: Engine Oil Issues: During winter, as temperatures drop, the viscosity of engine oil increases, making it harder to flow. This results in increased engine resistance. If you experience starting difficulties, check whether the incorrect oil grade is being used. Spark Plug Failure: After several years of use, spark plugs can develop issues such as carbon buildup, leakage, excessive gap, or erosion. These problems can make it difficult to start the car, whether cold or even when the engine is warm, often requiring multiple ignition attempts. Battery Discharge: In most cases, difficulty starting a car is caused by a discharged battery or an expired battery lifespan. When the battery is low on charge, the engine cranks weakly during startup, often producing only a clicking sound.
